Epic of Caterpillar

534 The Obligatory Beach Episode

At first, he barely had any consciousness, but it slowly formed through these memories and emotions. It was the old Megusan before being eaten by Kireina.

However, his memories were greatly fragmented, and he had many memories spread in disorder. But across them all, he fairly remembered that all of his split souls were defeated and eaten by Kireina.

As he slowly inspected his surroundings and state, he was deeply confused.

Various things did not make any sense.

What was going on?

Why was he the daughter of Kireina?

And why is he only the tail of that daughter?!

Even when \'Nirah\' is himself as well, she had somehow developed a personality of her own, she was now like a completely different being than him… he didn\'t felt any familiarity like the one he felt with his split souls…

Even more, both Megusan and Nirah had such different natures that not even Nirah could not detect him, and Megusan could barely hear a few of her thoughts, which were always about being with her mama, eating delicious food, or playing games with her siblings and aunts. The typical and innocent thoughts of children, which made Megusan want to vomit.

And to make things worse, he had barely any strength at all, Nirah was in charge of all the power.

As Nirah was in charge of the remnant divine power of his split soul, he remained as a snakehead with barely any poison that could not even paralyze a baby.

"Hateful… Damn it… Damn it all…"

And to make things even worse… Nirah was always surrounded by Kireina or her clones, her incredibly strong family, and her children, which were perhaps even more frightening than her wives.

If he were to ever dare to damage anyone, he would immediately be detected by Kireina and then have the last remnants of his original self, disappear.

Megusan could only pretend to be a snake head and act dumb… he could only do that if he did not want to get chopped off Nirah and be dealt with.

Thankfully, he was so weak and had lost all his powers, so even when Kireina heard his voice for a split second and inspected him, she could not sense anything.

"This is… hopeless…" he thought, quickly giving up.

Powerless and useless, he could only fall into a depression as he had never done before.

Perhaps, due to not having his original divinity anymore, as it was part of Kireina now, with Nirah only having 1% of its remaining power, he didn\'t even felt as much feelings of wanting to crawl like a critter or be evil and hateful, he only felt depressed.

Was this karma?

Was this destiny?

He did not know… He only knew that this was terrible.

He slowly felt that his own sense of self was banishing as he heard more and more of Nirah\'s thoughts… he was being eroded and assimilated by the \'new\' Megusan, Nirah.

Although he wanted to resist, he could not do anything… he only waited for now, slumbering and acting by instincts like a tame serpent.

If he somehow becomes able to take over Nirah\'s body, he will not fight nor do anything else than escape from this hell.

But would Kireina even let him do such a thing?

He was completely hopeless.

"I… a former Demigod… this is the lowest I\'ve to fall in my entire existence… Even crawling back to the top seems hazardous and… impossible,"

After the bath, we decided to take a visit to the beach again in the coastal regions where everyone had a lot of fun. Most of my family would go swimming on the beach completely naked though…

But what is the point of going to the beach with all these beautiful wives without them using sexy swimsuits?

If they were not going to wear or find some, I was going to make them for them!

And like this, I settled in a bench and began to create many swimsuit designs with my threads and own hair, which I was capable of changing in colors and types of cloth as I went by.

After a few hours, it was complete… all of my wives seemed confused by the clothes, it seems that outside of the Aquaria Kingdom clothes, there wasn\'t anything resembling swimsuits in the Realm of Vida, such culture had not been introduced yet…

Nonetheless, they were all naked while swimming, so they did not mind wearing something over it, though they wondered if it was because I did not like them to show off.

"N-No, it is not like that! This is… well, it is just part of the culture of my previous life" I said.

"I see… Well, I do not see why not… If Honey made them with so much care…" said Zehe with a smile, wearing her swimsuit. Which was of a single piece that revealed most of her body, it was made out of black cloth with rose decorations, only connecting all into one piece by small frills. It made her pale blue skin looks divine…

I don\'t know why my mind is like this, but it must be something inherited as a human on Earth, but it has been proven that people get more aroused when someone wears a sexy set of clothing instead of being completely nude.

"Masta, how do I look, guu?" asked Rimuru as she began to spin around while showing off her body wearing the swimsuit, I designed for her. Her swimsuit consisted of two pieces, for her chest there was a bikini made with a thin cloth with the shades of azure and flowers-paintings I carefully made. The other part covering her lower garments was of the same color and seemed very comfy for her.

She also wore a yellow flower on her azure hair, complementing the bikini set perfectly! Rimuru-chan was so pure and innocent-looking, yet she was already the body of a mature woman, it was a combination I never thought I would enjoy so much.

"It looks splendorous, Rimuru… I am such a good tailor; I can\'t believe this…"

"Well, I\'m going to go take a dip then!" said Nesiphae, already wearing her swimsuit as she jumped towards the sea, swimming as a snake would do in the water. Her swimsuit was a mono-bikini that I modified with an opening down below to fit her tail, as she had no legs, such changes were needed. To fit her skin-tone, I made it into a dark purple mono-bikini, with several openings that revealed her beautiful scales and skin. It had a very gothic feeling to it, as I have grown attached to this aesthetic by now.

Nesiphae swam through the sea alongside Amiphossia, Nirah, and Yiksukesh, the four snake girls swam through and caught monsters around which they usually gulped whole.

Nirah and Yiksukesh wore Japanese schoolgirl swimsuits, as their small body sizes really made me thought that it could fit them… of course, they were modified for Nirah as she had a tail, unlike Yiksukesh who had legs.

Amiphossia wore a different set, this one resembling the Bandeau-style bikini, with white and dark blue colors. I had to admit that my daughter had grown a lot and was now a beautiful young woman, Evan glanced at her constantly… by the way, I also made some shorts for Evan, while he preferred to be bare-chested.

Despite his young age and appearance, his body was ripped with hard and toned muscles. He had a large scar on his stomach as well, which was made through his battle against his brother in the Athetosea war, however that scar was only a scar, as he had healed from such injury long ago.

"Chuupi… I do not really like swimming as much; my feathers get too wet! Taking a bath is different than swimming, I will probably drown and die…" said Nephiana. The swimsuit I designed for her was a two pieces bikini with a skirted bottom, it was decorated with feather-like clothing and colors similar to her feathers, she looked wonderful.

"Nephiana, even if you were to drown, I doubt you would die… can\'t you just use your Wind Magic to find a way to swim?" asked Brontes. Most of the time Brontes exposes her body by wearing very revealing leather clothes, similar to bikinis.

Due to my own perverted desires kicking in as I thought about a design for her, I ended up making a micro bikini for her, that revealed even more of her body to my eyes… though she was just a moments ago completely naked, wearing the micro bikini made her more erotic for some reason… the micro bikini had little space for decorations, but it had the colors of her hair, such as copper and dark yellow.

"Yeah, yeah, but I don\'t wanna!" said Nephiana, while drinking fruit juice.

The rest of our children, the seven harpies were flapping on the shores with Vudia, each one was wearing a one-piece and simplistic design swimsuit, each one with a color similar to their feathers.

Vudia was building sandcastles near the shore with the harpies and was then converting them into golems.

"March, my soldiers!" said Vudia, as the harpy siblings rode the golems like mechas, Ailine was glancing at her side with a bit of surprise.

Vudia to her side was wearing a one-piece mono-bikini with a skirt, with the colors of yellow, copper, gold, and decorated with flower paintings.

Meanwhile, Ailine was wearing a similar piece to Vudia, but decorated with azure colors, yellow and green, alongside stars paintings.

Ailine decided to participate in the small war between golems as she expanded her colorful Aura and put her will into the seawater, creating water golems that marched out of the sea while carrying many fish and seaweed inside.

Then both golem armies began to wrestle…

As I felt that everyone was having their own fun, I decided to have mine as well, already having my swimsuit ready, which was a mono-bikini that tightly wrapped around my hips, thighs, and breasts, with dark purple and red-colored decorations resembling roses and thorny vines.

I jumped to the sea and dived deep underwater, Wagyu and Kekensha, who I had also invited alongside all of the wolves, Truhan, the Demon Trio, and many others, accompanied me.

We crossed many beautiful scenarios before descending into the abyss, such as countless forests of colorful coral and dozens of different types of aquatic animals and monsters.

"Master, it seems that this shore goes deeper than we imagined…" said Wagyu telepathically.

"Indeed, as we go more and more down below, the light of the sun disappears, and this truly becomes an abyss…" said Kekensha telepathically as well.

All of us possessed Dark Vision, so even in complete darkness, we were able to see our surroundings.

As we reached the \'bottom\' we came across giant monsters such as Giant Squids, Mega Whales, and Abyssal King Crabs, however, the power was nothing much, and only offered a slight inconvenience… their tastes were quite good, but due to their weakness compared to my power, they didn\'t give me any skills and the exp was minimal.

We glanced at the bottom as we found a large hole that led even deeper, there was a slight sense of dread surrounding this hole.

"This is…?" asked Wagyu.

"Indeed… just as I imagined, the Realm Menace of Sloth is slumbering below this hole… dozens of kilometers below, in a place known as the abyssal sea," I said.

"Could it be…? Master are you planning on waking it up?" asked Kekensha.

"Not for now… today we are having fun, but I just wanted to check out… I will come back for it later" I said, as I decided to dive back while hunting anything that met our sight.

Afterward, we enjoyed a nice day on the refreshing beach. The sun was strong as it was summer by now.

We had a big feast for both lunch and dinner, where I cooked many of the giant aquatic monsters we hunted.

"T-This is… is whale meat? I\'ve never tasted it before, it is very chewy and greasy… but when grilled, it becomes soft and juicy" said Brontes.

"Whale meat was a big product in Aquaria, it was a rare delicacy sold only to rich aristocrats, to think that I can eat as much as I want now," said Mady, she wore a two-piece micro-bikini that tightly wrapped her nipples, she looked incredibly sexy.

"I never liked the whale meat they sold in Aquaria… but this one is very flavorful, nothing better than authentic sea whale," said Adelle, she wore a one-piece mono-bikini with white and yellow colors and decorations depicting jewels and gold.

The night slowly fell as our feast ended and we went back home, it was a rather laid-back day, and I also managed to confirm something, the Realm Menace of Sloth is still alive…

I believe that I should be able to fight it… but at what cost? There is a need to be a lot of planning.

If possible, I will ask the gods tomorrow.
